ROBSTOWN, Texas — Remember that cop who lip synced to Selena's music and became internet famous? Now he's getting recognized for saving a life.

The Robstown Police Department took to Facebook to announce Officer Jimmie Zamora's heroic efforts last month.

Robstown Mayor Mandy Barrera, Lt. Albert Stout and Police Chief Erasmo Flores awarded the 28-year-old with "the Life Saving Award for acting quickly and effectively when he responded to an unresponsive child."

On June 17, police responded to the southside of Robstown for a call about a three-month-old boy who was unresponsive and not breathing. Zamora was the first on scene, the post reads.

The father of the infant told police he had recently fed him and then put him down on his back, Flores said.

Zamora quickly took the infant and began to perform CPR. Shortly after, the infant began to cough and cry, the post reads.

Flores said he was impressed and speechless after learning how Zamora asked the father of the infant if he had recently ate or burped.

"I'm a dad and a grandpa, but Jimmie has no kids," Flores said. "I don't know how he knew to ask that. That's usually a parent's instinct, but Jimmie has that inside him. He had that gut feeling and took that extra step."

Flores said the supplement report of the incident reveals details about Zamora's response.

"He was already practicing CPR on an infant in his head before he arrived," Flores said. "He was talking it over with (the other officer) and the vehicle didn't even completely stop when Jimmie got out of the car to meet the man with the baby."

Zamora told the Caller-Times the child's mother was in shock, but "the relief on her face could be seen when (he) told her the child was breathing again."

Robstown EMS arrived and took the child to Driscoll Children’s Hospital.

"We believe that the quick response and quick actions from Officer Zamora resulted in saving the child's life. Thank you for your service Officer Zamora," the post states.

"Some people can say it's part of his job, but as a police officer you still take that step further when it's a life," Flores said. "You're trained for things like this. It's automatic.

Zamora said it was an honor to be recognized by the city.

"You just come out here everyday and you try to do your job the best you can ... to serve this amazing community," he said. "To be recognized for just doing my job is a great feeling. It helps to show the community that we’re here for you."

"He needed to be recognized," Flores said. "In those videos he did, you see the funny part of him, but this is his serious side. Real heroes don't wear capes and Jimmie is a good example of that."
